I think that's 50 00:02:12,064 --> 00:02:12,624 Speaker 3: their origin. 51 00:02:13,304 --> 00:02:16,144 Speaker 4: It is for everyone. He's also extremely good looking, which 52 00:02:16,184 --> 00:02:19,384 Speaker 4: also helps, so I think he like really shot up 53 00:02:19,424 --> 00:02:22,304 Speaker 4: to I guess Australian fame when he hosted the Logis. 54 00:02:22,424 --> 00:02:25,064 Speaker 3: I mean no, before that, no everyone knew him. But 55 00:02:25,104 --> 00:02:27,264 Speaker 3: if you know everyone with him, you're gonna have to 56 00:02:27,304 --> 00:02:27,704 Speaker 3: not direct. 57 00:02:27,744 --> 00:02:29,864 Speaker 4: Okay, how about I say everyone under twenty five knew 58 00:02:29,904 --> 00:02:30,864 Speaker 4: him after the Logis? 59 00:02:30,944 --> 00:02:32,144 Speaker 3: Yeah, potentially, yeah. 60 00:02:32,104 --> 00:02:34,304 Speaker 4: And then I was like, no, no, too many people 61 00:02:34,384 --> 00:02:36,344 Speaker 4: know about him, and now he's going to be couragy. 62 00:02:36,384 --> 00:02:38,264 Speaker 4: You know when people get too famous, so they just 63 00:02:38,304 --> 00:02:40,424 Speaker 4: become like kind of like an enigma and you don't 64 00:02:40,464 --> 00:02:42,664 Speaker 4: really see them that much. And he took this really 65 00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:46,744 Speaker 4: long holiday after his LOGI stant so he wasn't on honesty, 66 00:02:46,784 --> 00:02:48,744 Speaker 4: thought I've never seen it again. And then it was 67 00:02:48,784 --> 00:02:50,904 Speaker 4: announced that he was going to host his own late 68 00:02:50,984 --> 00:02:55,064 Speaker 4: night talk show in Australia on Channel ten. And at 69 00:02:55,064 --> 00:02:57,744 Speaker 4: first when I heard about this, I was very nervous 70 00:02:57,744 --> 00:02:59,184 Speaker 4: because I feel like we don't have a really good 71 00:02:59,184 --> 00:03:02,024 Speaker 4: track record for late night talk shows, because it feels 72 00:03:02,024 --> 00:03:04,984 Speaker 4: like America does them so well. There's like literally five 73 00:03:04,984 --> 00:03:07,104 Speaker 4: of them. They're all named Jimmy, and they they're doing 74 00:03:07,184 --> 00:03:09,584 Speaker 4: great over there, but they all have kind of the 75 00:03:09,664 --> 00:03:12,304 Speaker 4: same I guess stick like they all kind of do 76 00:03:12,344 --> 00:03:15,024 Speaker 4: the same ish segments. I have similar humor, and I 77 00:03:15,064 --> 00:03:18,064 Speaker 4: feel like historically when we tried to do talk shows, 78 00:03:18,384 --> 00:03:21,224 Speaker 4: we tried to copy that same kind of format and 79 00:03:21,224 --> 00:03:23,704 Speaker 4: that same kind of humor, and I honestly think the 80 00:03:23,744 --> 00:03:25,384 Speaker 4: last successful one we've had. 81 00:03:25,264 --> 00:03:27,464 Speaker 3: Has been Rove, I know, which was such a long 82 00:03:27,544 --> 00:03:30,544 Speaker 3: time and eight Yeah, exactly, And there's always so much 83 00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:32,904 Speaker 3: conversation around the need to have that, Like there's a 84 00:03:32,944 --> 00:03:34,464 Speaker 3: gap in the mark in that in Australia for it 85 00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:36,624 Speaker 3: on a more mainstream level. I know, like different other 86 00:03:36,984 --> 00:03:39,584 Speaker 3: networks have versions of this, because there are about ten 87 00:03:39,584 --> 00:03:41,744 Speaker 3: people in Australian media who you think like you should 88 00:03:41,744 --> 00:03:43,984 Speaker 3: be on a talk show. Yeah, and they're not all 89 00:03:43,984 --> 00:03:46,304 Speaker 3: all white, straight man like America. 90 00:03:46,384 --> 00:03:49,104 Speaker 4: He did in his opening monologue, which is so funny. 91 00:03:49,144 --> 00:03:52,464 Speaker 4: It reminded me exactly of the funniness of his Logi's monologue. 92 00:03:52,624 --> 00:03:55,304 Speaker 4: He did refer to him as the Asian robe Madness, 93 00:03:55,744 --> 00:03:58,384 Speaker 4: which was really good. His first guest was Jack Thompson, 94 00:03:58,384 --> 00:04:02,584 Speaker 4: who's an absolute legend in Australian cinema, and the reviews 95 00:04:02,584 --> 00:04:05,104 Speaker 4: are pretty bad for his first show. 96 00:04:05,184 --> 00:04:07,944 Speaker 3: I'm so sorry for you, sad you're going to take 97 00:04:07,944 --> 00:04:08,784 Speaker 3: a more personally I did. 98 00:04:08,664 --> 00:04:10,544 Speaker 4: Watch it live. It was so sad. I was looking 99 00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:12,504 Speaker 4: at Twitter while I was watching it and people were 100 00:04:12,544 --> 00:04:13,584 Speaker 4: not super impressed. 101 00:04:13,624 --> 00:04:14,704 Speaker 3: Well, I mean those people are angry. 102 00:04:15,024 --> 00:04:18,984 Speaker 4: They're just get angry at everything. He is so unbelievably funny. 103 00:04:19,144 --> 00:04:22,544 Speaker 4: But I do understand some of the pushback because his 104 00:04:22,904 --> 00:04:25,384 Speaker 4: late night show does kind of follow the same sort 105 00:04:25,424 --> 00:04:27,904 Speaker 4: of like settings as the late night shows we see 106 00:04:27,944 --> 00:04:30,024 Speaker 4: in the US, and it's just not Australian humor, like 107 00:04:30,024 --> 00:04:33,184 Speaker 4: our humor is so different better, and it just like 108 00:04:33,304 --> 00:04:36,144 Speaker 4: doesn't work out that way. And he was quite nervous, 109 00:04:36,184 --> 00:04:38,344 Speaker 4: like you could tell it this first show. Obviously, I 110 00:04:38,344 --> 00:04:41,424 Speaker 4: feel like anyone be nice. He did come across quite nervous. 111 00:04:41,624 --> 00:04:44,784 Speaker 4: But the funniest parts in his show was definitely the 112 00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:47,104 Speaker 4: part where you could tell that he wasn't reading off 113 00:04:47,104 --> 00:04:49,944 Speaker 4: the Q cards. He just like inserted his sarcastic, like 114 00:04:50,064 --> 00:04:52,064 Speaker 4: dry sense of humor in these little parts. I just 115 00:04:52,104 --> 00:04:55,464 Speaker 4: had the audience absolutely rolling and laughter was a live 116 00:04:55,504 --> 00:04:57,504 Speaker 4: audience as well, like most talk shows are, and he 117 00:04:57,584 --> 00:04:59,544 Speaker 4: I guess that's what he's kind of used to. But 118 00:04:59,704 --> 00:05:01,464 Speaker 4: it was just so good, and I think for his 119 00:05:01,544 --> 00:05:04,184 Speaker 4: first one, it was just brilliant, and I'm like we 120 00:05:04,224 --> 00:05:06,344 Speaker 4: don't have any of these in Australian media, so I 121 00:05:06,384 --> 00:05:07,184 Speaker 4: give him a break. 122 00:05:07,384 --> 00:05:10,064 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just leave him alone. You were over here 123 00:05:10,104 --> 00:05:11,064 Speaker 3: this and Pang Defender. 124 00:05:11,064 --> 00:05:12,024 Speaker 4: I thought it was so funny. 125 00:05:12,104 --> 00:05:14,464 Speaker 3: I just think our appetite for how we consume TV 126 00:05:14,544 --> 00:05:16,624 Speaker 3: has changed so much, and we're so used to like 127 00:05:16,904 --> 00:05:19,384 Speaker 3: Netflix dropping a big series or if something like that 128 00:05:19,384 --> 00:05:21,064 Speaker 3: that we all watch in one weekend and move on 129 00:05:21,184 --> 00:05:24,344 Speaker 3: from that. We forget that, like a pilot is usually 130 00:05:24,344 --> 00:05:26,344 Speaker 3: a little bit rocky. But like back in the day, 131 00:05:26,384 --> 00:05:29,104 Speaker 3: when you'd have a network commissioner show like this, like 132 00:05:29,144 --> 00:05:31,064 Speaker 3: you'd watch the first episode, it was already commissioned for 133 00:05:31,104 --> 00:05:33,384 Speaker 3: a full season, so you'd have like twenty episodes to 134 00:05:33,504 --> 00:05:35,424 Speaker 3: like really get in the groove of, and people would 135 00:05:35,464 --> 00:05:37,264 Speaker 3: watch it all the way through because that's what was on. 136 00:05:37,544 --> 00:05:39,544 Speaker 3: But I think now we're very like one and done, like, 137 00:05:39,584 --> 00:05:41,104 Speaker 3: oh it wasn't great, I'm not gonna watch it again. 138 00:05:41,264 --> 00:05:43,744 Speaker 4: I don't think it's fair to do reviews on pilot 139 00:05:43,744 --> 00:05:44,624 Speaker 4: episodes of anything. 140 00:05:45,144 --> 00:05:47,784 Speaker 3: That's my hot take, that's your hot take, Yeah, well exapt, 141 00:05:47,824 --> 00:05:50,384 Speaker 3: well for me show you to watch obviously more than that. 142 00:05:50,504 --> 00:05:52,744 Speaker 3: But I guess this was like a standalone one episode 143 00:05:52,824 --> 00:05:53,584 Speaker 3: live drop it. 144 00:05:53,544 --> 00:05:56,784 Speaker 4: Doesn't get canceled like I'm actually quite fearful of that. 145 00:05:57,184 --> 00:05:58,264 Speaker 4: I fear it doesn't. 146 00:05:58,104 --> 00:06:00,784 Speaker 3: Guys, Well, just for Emily's sake, let me go watch 147 00:06:00,904 --> 00:06:03,384 Speaker 3: this and post positive things about it.

That's what This 158 00:06:21,984 --> 00:06:25,024 Speaker 3: is The Residence, which is a new mystery drama which 159 00:06:25,064 --> 00:06:28,384 Speaker 3: premiered on Netflix last night. Eight episodes. 160 00:06:31,264 --> 00:06:36,504 Speaker 2: Right now, there's a state dinner. There are two hundred 161 00:06:36,584 --> 00:06:39,424 Speaker 2: people down there, including the President of the United States. 162 00:06:39,584 --> 00:06:44,104 Speaker 2: Did anything unusual happen other than my boss dying? Other 163 00:06:44,144 --> 00:06:48,344 Speaker 2: than that? Yes, that's Cornelia Cuff. She is the best 164 00:06:48,344 --> 00:06:50,224 Speaker 2: detective in the world. Where's the body? 165 00:06:50,664 --> 00:06:51,064 Speaker 1: Oh? 166 00:06:51,144 --> 00:06:54,904 Speaker 2: I see feet, mister President. This house needs to be 167 00:06:54,944 --> 00:06:57,584 Speaker 2: treated like a crime scene. There may be a murderer 168 00:06:57,824 --> 00:06:58,424 Speaker 2: out there. 169 00:06:59,024 --> 00:07:00,784 Speaker 3: If you want to understand the White House residents. 170 00:07:00,784 --> 00:07:05,144 Speaker 2: You have to understand this. We are the house. All 171 00:07:05,184 --> 00:07:06,464 Speaker 2: these other people they are not. 172 00:07:07,704 --> 00:07:09,664 Speaker 1: It's us versus. 173 00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:13,744 Speaker 3: So it was created by Paul William Davis. But I 174 00:07:13,744 --> 00:07:15,464 Speaker 3: think one of the reasons why people there's been a 175 00:07:15,504 --> 00:07:17,264 Speaker 3: lot of build up, a lot of excitement for this 176 00:07:17,504 --> 00:07:19,664 Speaker 3: is that it's produced by Shondaland as part of that 177 00:07:19,704 --> 00:07:22,504 Speaker 3: big deal that she signed with Netflix. So it's produced 178 00:07:22,504 --> 00:07:25,544 Speaker 3: by Shonder Rhymes and Betsy Beers, obviously the creative minds 179 00:07:25,584 --> 00:07:27,664 Speaker 3: behind Grey's Anatomy, Like that's the first big thing they 180 00:07:27,744 --> 00:07:30,464 Speaker 3: created together, and then that production company has gone on 181 00:07:30,504 --> 00:07:33,064 Speaker 3: to fur shows like Bridges and whatnotiny shows. 182 00:07:33,144 --> 00:07:35,704 Speaker 4: I feel like now with Shonda Rhymes, whatever her name 183 00:07:35,784 --> 00:07:37,584 Speaker 4: is attached to, you expected to be brilliant. 184 00:07:37,784 --> 00:07:39,824 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And that's I think like good and bad 185 00:07:39,864 --> 00:07:41,344 Speaker 3: to that. It's almost like what we were saying with 186 00:07:41,424 --> 00:07:43,624 Speaker 3: Mindy Kale and Running Point, Like the pilot for that 187 00:07:43,744 --> 00:07:46,064 Speaker 3: was quite shaky and for a lot of people high 188 00:07:46,184 --> 00:07:48,064 Speaker 3: Running Point, I know that's well sucks to be them 189 00:07:48,104 --> 00:07:49,704 Speaker 3: because it's out from season two and I liked it. 190 00:07:49,984 --> 00:07:52,224 Speaker 4: It was the best show ever in the whole world. 191 00:07:52,384 --> 00:07:56,184 Speaker 3: But again better than MINDI Project never well again. It's 192 00:07:56,224 --> 00:07:58,344 Speaker 3: just that idea of like a creator having that much 193 00:07:58,424 --> 00:08:00,544 Speaker 3: cachet that they'll bring people into a show, and I 194 00:08:00,584 --> 00:08:02,464 Speaker 3: think it's good and bad. One is that obviously you 195 00:08:02,624 --> 00:08:04,144 Speaker 3: have that set audience who you know, we're going to 196 00:08:04,184 --> 00:08:06,144 Speaker 3: tune in no matter what. But on the other hand, 197 00:08:06,184 --> 00:08:09,024 Speaker 3: people come in expecting this first episode to be like 198 00:08:09,424 --> 00:08:11,624 Speaker 3: where Gray's Nami is now, where Bridgingshton is now, and 199 00:08:11,704 --> 00:08:14,024 Speaker 3: all the other movies and TV shows she's produced. So 200 00:08:14,424 --> 00:08:16,664 Speaker 3: The Residence is actually based on a book by Kate 201 00:08:16,704 --> 00:08:19,704 Speaker 3: Anderson Bauer called The Residence Inside the Private World of 202 00:08:19,744 --> 00:08:22,304 Speaker 3: the White House, which is actually a non fiction book, 203 00:08:22,344 --> 00:08:24,584 Speaker 3: and it was called really groundbreaking when it came out, 204 00:08:24,664 --> 00:08:26,624 Speaker 3: actually went to number one on the New York Times 205 00:08:26,704 --> 00:08:28,824 Speaker 3: bestseller list, and it was a look at all the 206 00:08:28,864 --> 00:08:30,824 Speaker 3: people who work in the White House, but not like 207 00:08:31,384 --> 00:08:34,344 Speaker 3: the President the vice president and their families and their supervisors. 208 00:08:34,384 --> 00:08:36,064 Speaker 3: It was the maids and the butlers and all the 209 00:08:36,104 --> 00:08:39,304 Speaker 3: other professionals at work. Yeah, a little time like that, 210 00:08:39,744 --> 00:08:42,464 Speaker 3: as I learned recently, Yeah, it's just all about learning things. 211 00:08:42,984 --> 00:08:45,304 Speaker 3: So this is a fictionalized version of that. So when 212 00:08:45,344 --> 00:08:48,064 Speaker 3: that book came out, Shonda Rhimes option the rights Netflix 213 00:08:48,264 --> 00:08:50,504 Speaker 3: took over the option and that has left us with 214 00:08:50,544 --> 00:08:54,624 Speaker 3: this fictionized version. So it's set in the upstairs, downstairs, 215 00:08:54,664 --> 00:08:56,064 Speaker 3: and backstairs of the White House. 216 00:08:56,144 --> 00:08:57,864 Speaker 4: Oh, that's exactly where I want to be. 217 00:08:58,424 --> 00:09:01,944 Speaker 3: Exactly, So in the residence, so you know the bedrooms 218 00:09:02,064 --> 00:09:04,984 Speaker 3: and like the kitchen and the informal dining area, all 219 00:09:05,024 --> 00:09:07,944 Speaker 3: those kind of places. They're like where the first family live, 220 00:09:08,104 --> 00:09:10,184 Speaker 3: but also where all they're like other people around their 221 00:09:10,224 --> 00:09:12,464 Speaker 3: life live in their private staff and all of that 222 00:09:12,584 --> 00:09:15,784 Speaker 3: sort of stuff. And it's hooked on Cordelia Cup, which 223 00:09:15,904 --> 00:09:18,744 Speaker 3: is a great name. So what happens is the first 224 00:09:18,864 --> 00:09:20,744 Speaker 3: night in the residence, there's like a lot of tension 225 00:09:20,784 --> 00:09:22,584 Speaker 3: and you see the staff and the ushers and everyone 226 00:09:22,704 --> 00:09:25,144 Speaker 3: kind of going back and forth. And then one of 227 00:09:25,224 --> 00:09:29,264 Speaker 3: the people in the staff of the White House ends 228 00:09:29,344 --> 00:09:31,624 Speaker 3: up dead. And when they end up dead on this 229 00:09:31,744 --> 00:09:34,664 Speaker 3: one night, there's a huge state dinner going on in 230 00:09:34,744 --> 00:09:38,544 Speaker 3: the White House. So they call in Cordelia Cup, who's 231 00:09:38,584 --> 00:09:41,984 Speaker 3: this very eccentric detective, and she arrives on the premises 232 00:09:42,064 --> 00:09:44,664 Speaker 3: and at first it looks like the person has committed suicide, 233 00:09:45,024 --> 00:09:46,664 Speaker 3: and then there's a state dinner. There's all these same 234 00:09:46,664 --> 00:09:48,104 Speaker 3: as people here can you just get out of here? 235 00:09:48,184 --> 00:09:50,024 Speaker 3: We don't need you here. And then she was like, well, 236 00:09:50,024 --> 00:09:53,384 Speaker 3: if you committed suicide, where's the knife? Nowhere to be found. 237 00:09:53,704 --> 00:09:56,544 Speaker 3: So obviously he's been murdered and his body's been planted there. 238 00:09:56,544 --> 00:09:59,104 Speaker 3: I won't say who because it's a little Chakraville. Then 239 00:09:59,144 --> 00:10:01,904 Speaker 3: there's a huge investigation, so it goes back and forth 240 00:10:01,984 --> 00:10:05,144 Speaker 3: to like the night the body was discovered and Cordelia 241 00:10:05,224 --> 00:10:07,864 Speaker 3: cup doing this investigation through the White House and like 242 00:10:07,944 --> 00:10:09,984 Speaker 3: storming into the state dinner like she doesn't care. She's 243 00:10:10,024 --> 00:10:12,624 Speaker 3: like just there to, you know, solve the murder. And 244 00:10:12,704 --> 00:10:15,024 Speaker 3: then it also goes to the inquiry that happens later on. 245 00:10:15,264 --> 00:10:18,384 Speaker 3: So it's about this murder investigation, but as it goes through, 246 00:10:18,424 --> 00:10:19,784 Speaker 3: you get to know all the different people in the 247 00:10:19,824 --> 00:10:23,024 Speaker 3: White House, like the different ushers, the press, secretary, the butler's, 248 00:10:23,064 --> 00:10:25,024 Speaker 3: all those kind of things, and they all have their 249 00:10:25,064 --> 00:10:28,624 Speaker 3: own interpersonal dramas and secrets and things. So one of 250 00:10:28,624 --> 00:10:30,744 Speaker 3: the other big draw cards for me, apart from the 251 00:10:30,784 --> 00:10:33,784 Speaker 3: fact that it's a Shondaland production, is that Cordelia Cupp, 252 00:10:33,824 --> 00:10:36,064 Speaker 3: the main character, is played by Uzo Aduba. 253 00:10:36,304 --> 00:10:39,064 Speaker 4: I love her so much, love she's the best. 254 00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:41,144 Speaker 3: So I hope you recognize her name, but if you don't, 255 00:10:41,264 --> 00:10:44,104 Speaker 3: she was one of the big standout characters in Oranges 256 00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,384 Speaker 3: the New Black, which is whild to think that Orange's 257 00:10:46,464 --> 00:10:50,184 Speaker 3: New Black started netflixy like it was like a rental 258 00:10:50,264 --> 00:10:53,384 Speaker 3: platform for movies, and then they commissioned Oranges the New Black, 259 00:10:53,384 --> 00:10:56,464 Speaker 3: and everyone's like weird little drama on this like weird 260 00:10:56,704 --> 00:10:58,584 Speaker 3: thing that you kind of rent movies off, Like no 261 00:10:58,704 --> 00:11:00,584 Speaker 3: one wants to watch that, And I know it was 262 00:11:00,624 --> 00:11:03,744 Speaker 3: really critically acclaimed, but that show is just so incredible. 263 00:11:03,784 --> 00:11:05,184 Speaker 3: I just feel like if it came out now, it 264 00:11:05,224 --> 00:11:07,824 Speaker 3: would just be so much bigger than it was then. 265 00:11:07,904 --> 00:11:09,464 Speaker 3: But it was still really good. And she obviously she 266 00:11:09,544 --> 00:11:11,384 Speaker 3: played Suzanne Crazy Eyes Warrant. 267 00:11:11,424 --> 00:11:14,464 Speaker 4: Yeah, she's also on Taylor Swift's Girl Squad for a bit. 268 00:11:14,904 --> 00:11:17,064 Speaker 3: Yeah, well she's the first fider Girl Squad. She's the 269 00:11:17,064 --> 00:11:18,184 Speaker 3: first person to offer her. 270 00:11:18,384 --> 00:11:19,104 Speaker 4: She's brilliant. 271 00:11:19,184 --> 00:11:20,904 Speaker 3: She is great in there. So she is like very 272 00:11:20,904 --> 00:11:23,744 Speaker 3: eccentric and kind of but also like no nonsense and 273 00:11:23,864 --> 00:11:26,344 Speaker 3: just comes in and she's so like flapped by like 274 00:11:26,544 --> 00:11:28,744 Speaker 3: the prestige of being the White House and all these 275 00:11:28,784 --> 00:11:31,344 Speaker 3: well known people and the power, Like she comes in 276 00:11:31,464 --> 00:11:32,944 Speaker 3: and one of the guys who works in the White House, 277 00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:34,744 Speaker 3: who's played by Ken Marino, who if you're e verron 278 00:11:34,784 --> 00:11:37,064 Speaker 3: In kamaras fan, you'll be really excited by that. And 279 00:11:37,224 --> 00:11:38,944 Speaker 3: he's like, why are you even here? We already know 280 00:11:38,984 --> 00:11:40,744 Speaker 3: it's a suicide. She's like, yeah, cool, get of my 281 00:11:40,784 --> 00:11:43,864 Speaker 3: way kind of thing. So it is a really good series. 282 00:11:43,944 --> 00:11:46,504 Speaker 3: I will say it does take a little bit to 283 00:11:46,544 --> 00:11:48,784 Speaker 3: get into. Okay, it's not one of those shows where 284 00:11:48,824 --> 00:11:50,184 Speaker 3: you sit down and you're like, oh my god, I'm 285 00:11:50,224 --> 00:11:51,944 Speaker 3: so invested in this, I need to watch it all 286 00:11:51,984 --> 00:11:53,624 Speaker 3: the way through, Like you really need to stick it 287 00:11:53,704 --> 00:11:56,024 Speaker 3: out for a little bit, because it gets better as 288 00:11:56,064 --> 00:11:58,584 Speaker 3: it goes along. And the reason I know this is 289 00:11:58,624 --> 00:12:01,024 Speaker 3: because obviously Netflix, we get to watch them before they 290 00:12:01,104 --> 00:12:03,224 Speaker 3: came out, before the shows come out. So I had 291 00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:05,344 Speaker 3: the screeners for a few weeks and I watched the 292 00:12:05,384 --> 00:12:07,304 Speaker 3: first episode and I liked it, but I didn't really 293 00:12:07,344 --> 00:12:09,504 Speaker 3: want to go back to it. Yeah, okay, but I 294 00:12:09,544 --> 00:12:11,304 Speaker 3: didn't want to. There's a way something else to watch. 295 00:12:11,704 --> 00:12:13,624 Speaker 3: But then for we can watch obviously, I like made 296 00:12:13,624 --> 00:12:15,224 Speaker 3: myself sit down and kind of push through. 297 00:12:15,344 --> 00:12:17,864 Speaker 4: Do you think that's because we were in like deep TV? 298 00:12:18,064 --> 00:12:20,264 Speaker 4: Right now, like we have Severan's White Loaders, we have 299 00:12:20,344 --> 00:12:21,544 Speaker 4: so many YEIG shows. 300 00:12:21,424 --> 00:12:24,144 Speaker 3: Potentially potentially, I feel like if you've come home at night, 301 00:12:24,224 --> 00:12:25,584 Speaker 3: like you've got other things to watch, this might not 302 00:12:25,664 --> 00:12:26,784 Speaker 3: be the top of your leirs, but it is a 303 00:12:26,824 --> 00:12:29,184 Speaker 3: really good weekend watch, Like it does really flow together 304 00:12:29,264 --> 00:12:30,864 Speaker 3: to watch it all in one go, and it's just 305 00:12:30,944 --> 00:12:33,144 Speaker 3: really off beaten, weird.
